I'm not sure, I'm in Poland and all we had was coal. Now it will take a few decades to have our own source of power again. Maybe 20-30 years..? What are oil companies doing to drive European companies out of business (not saying t

The main problem with app icons these days IMO is that they have to place them into identical rounded boxes. They all look the same. When it was just the icon one was square, one was round, etc. and it was easier to tell them apart. There i

What's wrong with React? It made it so much better to build apps vs. spaghetti jQuery. I still have nightmares about jeeping track of jQuery callbacks

I downgraded back to Sequoia after 1 day. I have no idea what Apple were thinking, this OS is basically unusable, and extremely ugly. I hope I won't somehow be forced to upgrade at some point. Apple needs to start thinking about their

Might be a stupid question, but what's wrong with Xorg? I know that it wasn't originally conceived to do what it does today, but I've never had any problem using it, and when I tried Wayland I didn't notice any differenc
